Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio held a principal visit day to develop study strategies for the new batch of art exam candidates. The disruptions caused by the pandemic in various industries have affected not only all senior high school students preparing for exams, but also the art students who will be in their final year of school in 2021. This year, all art students have less time for training, which has resulted in a slower overall progress in their training. Compared to art students at this time last year, their foundational skills are generally weaker. How to quickly make up for these shortcomings within the remaining six months and keep making progress to meet the high standards required for art exams is now the top concern for these art students. To better assist art students in preparing for their exams, Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio holds principal visit days to help them develop plans for the upcoming art exams. http://sucimg.itc.cn/sblog/j446ce9d02d454ef2e890430c23464e84 The principal’s reception day at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio will take place from June 12, 2020, to June 14, 2020, over a period of three days. All students who attend will be able to receive a free guide to planning for art exams. In addition, they can ask questions directly to the principal of Elephant Art Studio, thereby preparing thoroughly for their exams. As is well known, all the teachers at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio not only possess a high level of professional competence but also have their own unique perspectives on art. One of the principals participating in this one-on-one meeting was Principal Luo, the founder of Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio. He entered the China Academy of Art in 2004, ranking sixth among his peers in his field; during his time there, many of his artworks were collected by the academy. In the years since he founded his art studio, he has helped send hundreds of talented individuals to the China Academy of Art. Thanks to his thorough understanding of the art entrance examination process, in 2013 Principal Luo was invited as an expert to speak at the China Art Entrance Examination Summit Forum. He has contributed to the writing of more than a dozen books on art entrance examinations, including “Decoding the China Academy of Art Entrance Examination,” “Successful Teaching,” and “Hangzhou Colors.” He has also been involved in editing series such as “Southern Color Tones,” “China Academy of Art Color Tones,” and “Great Colors.” Throughout the years, Principal Luo’s teaching methods have received high praise and support from art students. http://sucimg.itc.cn/sblog/j4285a81cf4af1503f97182ad2222f941 Principal Fang Zimo of Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio also graduated from the China Academy of Art; he possesses a strong foundation in sketching and has many years of teaching experience. He is a renowned expert in sketching instruction for the art entrance exams in Hangzhou, with a deep understanding of this subject. Many of his works have been included in collections such as “China’s Best Sketches” and “Works by Graduates of the China Academy of Art,” and he is highly regarded by art students. During his tenure as a teacher, he became well-known in the industry for his excellent teaching results. Among the students in the 14th–15th cohorts, around 380 students took the National Academy of Fine Arts entrance exam. For the sketch subject, the average score achieved by the students under Principal Fang’s guidance was 81.6 points; more than 70 of them scored 88 points or higher on the sketch test, with around 30 scoring 90 points or more. In the following year, out of the 120 students who took the exam, 28 scored 88 points or higher on sketch, and 10 scored 90 points or higher. The overall average score for all students was 80.9 points. Since the 16th cohort, as the head teacher at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio, the average scores of his students in these exams have been increasing at a rate of 60% per year. http://sucimg.itc.cn/sblog/j3483441129b1b48445be5593517b1bd1 With years of experience in dealing with art exams, they provide a comprehensive analysis of this year’s exam situation for all Elephant Academy students. Firstly, looking at the adjustments to admission policies issued by the Ministry of Education, the difficulty of these artistic examinations has increased further. However, data shows that regardless of such policy changes, the number of people taking these artistic examinations continues to rise. As for the reasons behind this, they said that first, although the requirements for academic subjects in art exams have increased, in terms of scores, the academic performance of students in art majors is 20%-30% lower than that of ordinary college applicants. Second, thanks to the development of material culture, most people born in the 2000s have a certain artistic foundation, and an increasing number of students are willing to use their skills to get into their ideal universities. Third, at this year’s education conference, the Ministry of Education made it clear that aesthetic education should be transformed from a voluntary requirement into a mandatory criterion; this will **drive an ongoing increase in interest in art-related entrance exams, and an rise in the number of candidates taking these exams is inevitable. http://sucimg.itc.cn/sblog/ja9cc67e27c179f59851566bd1f929f73 With the continuous increase in the number of students pursuing art careers, the pandemic in 2020 led to a **reduction in the time available for art students to train; as a result, they had to work harder to improve their skills, increasing the competitive pressure in this field. For all students at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio, the teachers have prepared a preparation plan for each one of them. This event is aimed at helping all art students who come here to get closer to the art entrance examination process. During the event, Elephant Art Studio not only provides one-on-one guidance from its principal, but also helps students determine their goals for taking these exams based on their academic and artistic backgrounds, so as to develop the most suitable plan for preparing for them. Not only that, by participating in the one-on-one sessions organized by Elephant Art Studio, participants also have the opportunity to experience its professional teaching methods up close. Teachers can provide targeted advice based on the actual issues with the students’ artwork, helping them understand what methods to use to address those issues quickly and effectively, thereby improving their professional skills. It also allows one to get an early insight into the intensive training life at Elephant Art Studio, experience the atmosphere there, and understand the learning environment of the students there, thereby helping to address any potential challenges that may arise during future intensive training sessions. http://sucimg.itc.cn/sblog/jbd802c8d3e771a9818f836258d154879 The internet-famous dormitory at Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio has always been one of the places that art students want to visit. During this three-day campus open day, students who participate can experience other people’s dormitories firsthand. For the new batch of art students, it is necessary to make plans as early as possible, whether in terms of understanding the overall situation or planning their individual development, so as to be more competitive in future competitions. To succeed in the art exam pathway, it is absolutely essential to have a strategy. Therefore, all art students who are about to enter their final year of high school this year should take advantage of this opportunity to meet in person with the director of Hangzhou Elephant Art Studio, so as to clarify their path for the art entrance exams and avoid feeling lost.
